HEDWIG FRANCILLO-KAUFMANN " NO, NO CHE NON SEI CAPACE"

[AulicExclusiva]

Some of the runs are sketchy, but the heroic singing is impressive. She made many fine disks.Thank you for putting Heddi Kaufmann (her husband Francillo was a Brazilian businessman) on YouTube!

@AulicExclusiva Francillo-Kaufmann made an infamous recording of Zerbinetta's aria in the original key (as did Bosetti; even higher according to Steane!), which I remember hearing for the first time several decades ago. It is a rather laborious effort. Still, as in this piece, an interesting singer if not always a pleasant-sounding one. She out-Galli-Curcis Galli-Curci in staccato use. Thanks for sending my way, AE, and thanks for posting, Addi.
